Wow. Is he allergic to clothing too? Carpeting is made from the same materials as clothing, bedding, and furniture. How on earth does the doctor know it is the carpeting? That really makes no sense.
You can not break the lease with this. Even if you state allows for medical reasons you would have a hard time proving it is the carpet at home and not his coat, the carpeting at school, your couch, etc.

You can't break the lease. All you can do is move and pay the rents as asked. Do remember that it is not the fault of the apartment complex that your son happens to be allergic to the carpeting provided. Sad to say, that allergy is YOUR problem with which to deal.

that is frequently "breach of settlement" damages. which potential the owner might sue you for the expenses they're particularly out consequently of your breach of lease. on the flipside, the regulations of maximum states require the owner to make a robust faith attempt to miinimize losses brought about by potential of a breach of lease. which potential the owner ought to make the attempt to discover a clean tenant if a tenant breaks a lease. So, on the severe area, you need to probably be answerable for the entire lease for something of the lease. on the low area, you need to conceivably be to blame for 0, if the owner can discover a clean lease-paying tenant on the instant and consequently does no longer lose any lease.

You may want to consult a lawyer in your area who specializes in landlord/tenant
while yes a lease is a legal binding contract, if you really have medical documentation that the rug is a serious threat to the health of the child, I believe you may have a shot a winning, but the doctors note must be very specific of the what the problem is, and the potential health risks

Read the early termination section of your lease carefully. It my be that you only have to forfeit your security deposit and pay one months rent as a penalty. If this is not the case then they have to stop charging you the rent the second they re-rent the apt. They can not collect double rent on one apt.

you would hope a compassionate person might let you break the lease; however, leasing is a business, and personal problems usually don't affect it.
